Every year, the first Sunday of November in New York City is a sacred day. People line the streets of the 5 boroughs from musicians to ladies who brunch to people handing out orange slices to kids waiting patiently to high five the 53,000 runners who commit to move their body a grand total of… Continue reading Oh, Happy Day

Is there anything better than learning something new?
I'm sitting here staring at the blank screen today, but it's not because I have writer's block. On the contrary, I feel like I may be suffering from quite the opposite! I just spent a week at the FEMA Center for Disaster Preparedness in Anniston, Alabama. They have a multitude of classes there, so I… Continue reading Is there anything better than learning something new?
Remember, remember the 5Ks of September
After last year's marathon, I took some time off from running. I thought to myself, "Hey self, take a break. You've earned it." I told myself that I would start training if I got into the marathon the following year via the raffle. When I didn't get into the raffle, I continued to train but… Continue reading Remember, remember the 5Ks of September
Musings
Some days, hanging out on my chair with my soft blanket, soft pillow and some snacks with a large, chilled glass of water is all I want. I woke up early and got my workout in. At least that's done! Got my grocery shopping done and then headed home to relax, hard core. I worked… Continue reading Musings
WWBD?
You ever have one of those days where you struggle to maintain yourself? I define myself as a positive person, one who believes that people are good and someone who strives to make at least one other person's day a little bit better. Today, I had a hard time being that person, but am happy… Continue reading WWBD?

We go to these concerts in Lincoln Center every year. They are so much fun, and really just another item… Continue reading Lifted Spirits
Self reflection, doubt, lessons and a cup of tea
So in the last four weeks I have learned a great deal about myself through self reflection, of which I have been spending a plethora of time doing because I get frustrated at myself when I am not perfectly good at something. Now you can probably imagine that I am not perfectly good at my… Continue reading Self reflection, doubt, lessons and a cup of tea
148 miles
Update: still training in my new job as a Transport Nurse. The other day I went on two different transports to two hospitals very far away from my home base. I counted it out. We went roughly 148 miles that day. The helicopter was out of service, so it was all via ambulance. There's a… Continue reading 148 miles
Fancy Free
Today, I had the good pleasure to enjoy an exhibit at The New York Public Library with some friends of mine who used to be my professors during my first degree. Peggy and David always contact me to see them when they come to town and I'm always delighted too. The exhibit is called "Voice… Continue reading Fancy Free
A challenging muse or amused by a challenge? (otherwise known as Happy New Year)
I had my first night at my new job a few days ago, and there is something about the approaching end of the year that has me thinking about challenges. They aren't necessarily a bad thing. Some might liken them to goals, resolutions, purposes... but I feel that they have a more personal meaning. Challenges… Continue reading A challenging muse or amused by a challenge?
